A Land Investor’s Dream: Getting Run Over By the Path of Growth
February 21, 2009 by Steve Haight
If I ever get the chance, here’s a question I’d like to ask the “doom and gloomers” on the news every night:
“If things are so bad, then why do I see opportunity hiding just about everywhere I look?”
The interview I have for you today is yet ANOTHER example of the type of opportunity that is hidden to the average eye.
Today, I want to introduce you to land investor, Rich Michel.
Rich has been in the land business for quite some time… and he’s become quite an expert on an area of Colorado known as Pueblo West.
You’re about to learn all about it…
But even more important than learning about Pueblo West is to hear Rich explain the factors that make that area an investment target of some REALLY big players in the land game.
That’s the REAL gold here. Because those same factors he talks about are ones you can watch out for in just about any smart land investment.
But first, let’s get you up to speed on the area we’re focusing on today…
A VERY Quick Look
at Pueblo West
This area is situated just 30 miles south of Colorado Springs and 7 miles north of Pueblo.
The project is bordered by Interstate 25 and U.S. 50 – which is a major transportation corridor.
The original Pueblo West project consisted of 22,000 acres of residential, multi-family, and commercial lots - all with water, electricity and phone close - in the Pueblo West Master Planned Community, Pueblo County, Colorado.

After submitting your information, you’ll find a brief document that explains a bit more about how land investing works.
And you’ll also find instructions for submitting a refundable “Performance Deposit” in advance of a consultation with me.
Because of the growing volume of demand (the number of Dirt Report subscribers has doubled in the past 90 days), I’ve had to create the Preview Kit and Performance Deposit to make sure I only schedule consultations with people who are serious about raw land investing.
The fact is, it’s a buyer’s market… and my phone is ringing off the hook as it is.
The Performance Deposit shows me you’re serious.

An Advantage So Big,
It’s Almost Unfair
Now imagine your average beginning land investor researching profitable investment areas in Colorado.
They might drive around looking at parcels, or spend some time buying up the local papers and checking the ads for land.
Would they target Pueblo West as a high opportunity area?
Maybe. Maybe not.
But my hunch is that they probably wouldn’t even notice it. At least not at the right time.
After all, it would probably take a story in the newspaper or on the evening news for the message to get to them.
And by the time THAT happens, it’s pretty much too late. At least for the BIG profits.
By the time the news of growth or imminent growth shows up in the press, the smart investors have already made their moves.
That’s why people like Rich bring a huge amount of value to the marketplace.
It’s because they KNOW things that most people don’t know… and they KNOW those things EARLY. When there is still time…
Here’s a quick example:
Before you listen to Rich’s interview, visit the link below and read the article:
Nothing special right?
Actually, it sounds pretty boring. The type of news that most people skip.
After you listen to the interview, come back and read the article again. The names you probably didn’t recognize on the first reading will jump out at you.
The clues you missed the first time will be a whole lot clearer and more valuable.
The Recipe for Raw Land Profits Always
Includes the Same Ingredients
As you listen to the interview, just remember, the raw land game is pretty much the same no matter where you choose to play it.
1. Find undervalued properties in the path of growth.
2. Buy them (or control them).
3. Sell them (or divide them).
3. Rinse and repeat.
That’s all it takes.
There are pockets of opportunity everywhere. You just have to know how to discover them.
Of course it also helps to have your ear to the ground so you know things most people DON’T know about what’s going on in any particular area.
You’ll hear Rich talk about that in the interview.
Enjoy…
